something doesnt add up here...
It is a pain-in-the-ass. Here's how it works: say you buy (or need to buy) a bunch of a certain product like CD-Rs. That spindle of 100 Verbatim discs costs $29.99 so you call your account manager and they "discount" the price to $19 because you're such a good customer.
...or you can just buy it even cheaper on Amazon for $17 without any hassle!
The company I work for uses Staples Advantage because it's "simplier." I have no idea why.

That drive will burn either CDs or DVDs, but you need different physical disks as your starter blanks.
Well, he only wants to put a book on it, so storage size isn't a concern as books are small. CD-Roms are cheap so you can buy literally 100 CD-Roms for $16.47.
I think youre being a little harsh on people who are only trying to help you out. Congrats on your thrift store vintage blank media purchase. (theres something I never thought Id say.) If you're looking to back up a music collection to hard copy for playback on CD players then you're probably going to need a pretty big stack of discs (depending on your music collection, it can get pretty expensive), its an older format and has very limited data capacity 700mb or 70 minutes of music I believe. Because the music is being stored digitally as opposed to analog there is really no difference between discs. Now you spent $10 on 20 discs where on amazon you could have spent $20 on 100 CD-R discs, so it turns out per disc to be much cheaper and you can store up to 6.8 gigs of data or 116 hours of music. AMAZON 100 CD-R $20 BTW another good thing about newer CD-Rs and DVD-Rs is MUCH MUCH faster writing speeds. CDRs now can manage up to 52x and DVDR can do about 16x, where as your thrift shop CDRs can probably only manage 4x
Now if you just want to back up music to hardcopy for archival purposes (to be copied back to a computer at a later date, in case of hard drive failure) then DVD-R is definitely the way to go. 100 DVD-R $22 now you can store 470 gigs of data, which is probably more than enough to back up your entire music library Im sure at only a smaller increase in price that is still cheaper (per disc) than your vintage CD-Rs. If you're an audiophile with an extensive Lossless collection (fortunately for dead heads like me this is a rather easy thing to come by) then DVD-R will allow you to back up your music in fewer discs which would be much easier to handle.
I hope thats a detailed enough answer to help you make an informed decision on how to back up your media, and in the future please dont bite the heads off of people who are really only trying to help you out.
She could try one of these. And buy her a stack of these and maybe a bunch of these, too. Tell her they take up a lot less room than the tapes and she can still label the cases. Maybe you can eventually get her to just connect a hard drive to her dvr and tell her it's still essentially a like physical copy, just on a more compact unit. If not, hopefully she's still happy with the dvd recorder.
I don't know anything about labels so I won't even go there. But just taking a quick scan on amazon, Vessels by Twenty-one Pilots, Froot by Marina and the Diamonds, and Nevermind by Nirvana are all cheaper on CD than cassette.
Further, if we're talking about the DIY scene, a box of ten type II cassettes costs 27.95 USD, a box of ten type I cassettes costs 20.50 USD, while a 100 pack of CD-Rs costs 16.47 USD. So as far as I can tell, buying and selling music on cassette is significantly more expensive than CDs.
Edit: Formatting.
> But he was only selling the CDs for basically cost at .25$ a piece- so it clearly wasn't a money grab.
Do the math, man, he made 28000 copies. (For instance) if he buys 280 packs of 100 of these blank disks, it would cost him (more or less) 4760 US$, selling each disk at .25c would make 7000 US$, it's 2240 US$ in profit. Sure that's nothing for a guy like him, but it's a lot considering he was using freely available and copyrighted software and a copyrighted logo to make the costumer believe it was a legit Microsoft product. And dude, it was 28000 copies!, that's a large counterfeit operation, not 10 or 20 spare backups like most IT guys do.
